THIRD QUARTER 2018 HIGHLIGHTS

Previously Disclosed Pre-tax Catastrophe Losses of $1.6 billion Reflect AIG’s Global Presence – Catastrophe losses in Japan represented over half of the overall catastrophe losses in the quarter. Our losses reflect the unique severity and frequency of one of Japan’s worst catastrophe seasons in 25 years and AIG’s footprint as the largest foreign-based insurer in the country. Japan catastrophe losses are net of $264 million of reinsurance recoveries under our Japanese reinsurance program. Catastrophe losses in North America accounted for just under half of the overall catastrophe losses in the quarter and were largely due to Hurricane Florence and revisions to the loss estimates on the California mudslides. Validus’ net catastrophe losses totaled approximately $200 million, which were mostly Japan-related. AIG estimates that it has exhausted approximately $700 million of the $750 million retention under its North America aggregate catastrophe reinsurance program following the California mudslides, Hurricane Florence and assuming the high end of the previously disclosed loss estimate range for Hurricane Michael.

General Insurance Accident Year Combined Ratio Slightly Deteriorates, Accident Year Loss Ratio Improves – Severe Loss Global Aggregate Cover Attaches – Third quarter General Insurance loss ratio of 88.6 included 22.0 points from the aforementioned catastrophe losses. The accident year loss ratio, as adjusted, of 63.6 improved on a sequential and year-over-year basis and included severe losses of $153 million (2.2 pts). In the third quarter, AIG reached the attachment point on the property aggregate reinsurance cover for severe losses, offering a significant level of protection against additional severe losses in the fourth quarter. The third quarter expense ratio of 35.8 compared to the prior year quarter primarily reflected an increase in the North America acquisition ratio due to strategic changes in Personal Insurance business mix towards lower loss ratio and higher commission businesses. General operating expenses (GOE) of $995 million increased 8.5% compared to the prior-year quarter. Excluding Validus GOE of $89 million, GOE decreased 1% compared to the prior-year quarter and decreased 5% on a sequential basis.

	FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Incremental Net Loss Reserve Development – Net prior year loss reserve development year-to-date was favorable by $3 million, and adverse by $170 million for the quarter. North America Personal Insurance was adverse by $148 million for the quarter driven largely by updated loss estimates for the 2017 California wildfires. North America Commercial Lines reserves were slightly favorable by $14 million, as favorable development on Commercial Auto, short-tail lines and the amortization benefit from the adverse development cover (ADC) deferred gain were partially offset by the strengthening of Excess Casualty reserves. Excess Casualty development included higher loss activity related to construction defects claims and multi-year construction projects that cover all contractors on the site associated with accident years 2015 and prior, which are covered under the ADC. We also saw higher than expected loss severity for accident years 2016 and 2017. The 80% share of the 2015 and prior adverse reserve development that was ceded under the ADC and excluded from Adjusted pre-tax income was $723 million. Paid claims related to the business covered by the ADC were $1.2 billion and remain consistent with expectations.

Agreement To Acquire Glatfelter Insurance Group – Glatfelter Insurance Group is expected to bring high-quality program underwriting capabilities and accelerate the strategic positioning of our programs business.

Life and Retirement Earnings Deliver Solid Double Digit Adjusted ROE – Third quarter adjusted pre-tax income was $713 million reflecting a negative pre-tax adjustment of $98 million from our annual actuarial update. Adjusted ROE was 11.2% including the actuarial assumption update or approximately 13% excluding the after-tax impact of this item.

Legacy Results Include Catastrophe Losses – Third quarter adjusted pre-tax income of $84 million, compared to $286 million in the prior-year quarter, reflected lower net investment income, catastrophe losses in Japan of $57 million and lower gain from fair value option assets, as well as the sale of the Life Settlement portfolio in 2017. The sale of 19.9% of AIG’s ownership interest in Fortitude Holdings, the parent of Fortitude Re (formerly DSA Re), to The Carlyle Group L.P. is expected to close in the fourth quarter.

Net Investment Income Reflects Strong Private Equity Returns – Third quarter net investment income from our insurance companies, including the Legacy insurance portfolios, increased 1.4% from the prior-year quarter to $3.4 billion. The third quarter included Validus and benefited from strong private equity returns. Net investment income from our insurance companies including the Legacy insurance portfolios, totaled $9.9 billion for the first nine months of 2018.

Liquidity and Capital – As of September 30, 2018, AIG Parent liquidity stood at approximately $4.5 billion. In the third quarter, AIG Parent received approximately $1.8 billion of distributions from insurance subsidiaries in the form of cash and fixed maturity securities, including tax sharing payments. In the third quarter, AIG repurchased 6.6 million shares of common stock for $348 million and warrants for $2 million. AIG completed the acquisition of Validus for $5.5 billion in the third quarter.

	FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Book Value per Common Share – As of September 30, 2018, book value per common share was $66.23 compared to $72.49 at December 31, 2017. Book value per common share excluding accumulated other comprehensive income and deferred tax assets (Adjusted book value per common share) decreased 3.1% to $55.58 in the third quarter primarily due to catastrophe losses and an increase in the ADC deferred gain.

	FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

All comparisons are against the third quarter of 2017, unless otherwise indicated. Refer to the AIG Third Quarter 2018 Financial Supplement, which is posted on AIG's website in the Investors section, for further information.

	·	Adjusted pre-tax loss of $160 million included $791 million of catastrophe-related losses, net of reinsurance, and $88 million of severe losses. Net unfavorable prior year loss reserve development of $134 million included $148 million of unfavorable prior year loss development in Personal Insurance primarily related to development from 2017 catastrophe losses, partially offset by $14 million of favorable prior year loss development from Commercial Lines which included the amortization of the deferred gain from the ADC with NICO. The increase in net investment income was primarily driven by the Validus acquisition.

	·	Net premiums written increased by 7.5%, largely due to additional premiums from the acquisition of Validus of $275 million, lower ceded premiums due to changes in the 2018 reinsurance programs and growth in Personal Insurance businesses.

	·	The improvement in the North America loss ratio was driven by significantly lower catastrophe losses and lower unfavorable prior year loss reserve development. The accident year loss ratio, as adjusted, improved 7.4 points, benefiting from changes in portfolio mix and the impact of lower severe losses (1.1 pts) compared to the prior-year quarter, partially offset by the impact of changes in 2018 reinsurance programs. The third quarter 2017 included a year-to date increase in accident year loss estimates for Property.

	·	The increase in the expense ratio reflected a higher acquisition expense ratio driven by changes in Personal Insurance’s portfolio mix and an increase in GOE related to strategic initiatives.

	·	Adjusted pre-tax loss of $665 million included $776 million of catastrophe-related losses, net of reinsurance, severe losses of $65 million and unfavorable prior year loss reserve development of $38 million. The decrease in net investment income reflects lower income from equity method investments and fair value option securities.

	·	Net premiums written increased slightly on a reported and constant dollar basis. The increase in net premiums written was due to the inclusion of additional premiums of $165 million from the acquisition of Validus, growth in our European Financial Lines business and Accident and Health and Personal Lines businesses in Asia Pacific.

	·	The third quarter loss ratio was 79.7. The accident year loss ratio, as adjusted, increased 0.9 points to 58.2, driven by higher attritional losses in Commercial Lines, partially offset by lower severe losses (1.8 pts) compared to the prior-year quarter.

	FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The expense ratio increased due to a higher acquisition ratio from changes in business mix combined with changes in the 2018 reinsurance program.

	FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

	·	In Individual Retirement, adjusted pre-tax income reflected net unfavorable adjustments as a result of the annual actuarial assumption update of $52 million compared to net favorable adjustments of $242 million in the prior-year quarter. Fee income increased primarily from strong levels of assets under management. Net investment income decreased due to lower yield enhancement income and alternative investment income. Net flows excluding Retail Mutual Funds were positive and reflected strong sales.

	·	In Group Retirement, adjusted pre-tax income reflected continued investments made in the business partially offset by higher fee income and advisory fee income primarily from strong levels of assets under administration. Yield enhancement income increased primarily due to increased income from bond call and tender and other investment income. Base spreads, excluding accretion and other investment income, were in line with the prior-year quarter. Group Retirement net flows reflect outflows due to the loss of two large plan accounts.

	·	In Life Insurance, adjusted pre-tax income reflected net unfavorable adjustments as a result of the annual actuarial assumption update of $63 million compared to net favorable adjustments of $29 million in the prior-year quarter. Mortality was favorable to pricing expectations.

	·	In Institutional Markets, adjusted pre-tax income reflected increased longevity, and lower policy fees, partially offset by strong in-force business and higher net investment income.

	FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

COMMENT ON REGULATION G

Throughout this press release, including the financial highlights, AIG presents its financial condition and results of operations in the way it believes will be most meaningful and representative of its business results. Some of the measurements AIG uses are “non-GAAP financial measures” under Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. GAAP is the acronym for “generally accepted accounting principles” in the United States. The non-GAAP financial measures AIG presents may not be comparable to similarly-named measures reported by other companies. The reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable GAAP measures in accordance with Regulation G are included within the relevant tables or in the Third Quarter 2018 Financial Supplement available in the Investor Information section of AIG’s website, www.aig.com.

Book Value per Common Share, Excluding Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) and Book Value per Common Share, Excluding AOCI and Deferred Tax Assets (DTA) (Adjusted Book Value per Common Share) are used to show the amount of AIG’s net worth on a per-share basis. AIG believes these measures are useful to investors because they eliminate items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period, including changes in fair value of AIG’s available for sale securities portfolio, foreign currency translation adjustments and U.S. tax attribute deferred tax assets. These measures also eliminate the asymmetrical impact resulting from changes in fair value of AIG’s available for sale securities portfolio wherein there is largely no offsetting impact for certain related insurance liabilities. AIG excludes deferred tax assets representing U.S. tax attributes related to net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits as they have not yet been utilized. Amounts for interim periods are estimates based on projections of full-year attribute utilization. As net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits are utilized, the portion of the DTA utilized is included in these book value per common share metrics. Book value per common share, excluding AOCI, is derived by dividing Total AIG Shareholders’ equity, excluding AOCI, by total common shares outstanding. Adjusted Book Value per Common Share is derived by dividing Total AIG shareholders’ equity, excluding AOCI and DTA (Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity), by total common shares outstanding.

AIG Return on Equity – Adjusted After-tax Income Excluding AOCI and DTA (Adjusted Return on Equity) is used to show the rate of return on shareholders’ equity. AIG believes this measure is useful to investors because it eliminates items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period, including changes in fair value of AIG’s available for sale securities portfolio, foreign currency translation adjustments and U.S. tax attribute deferred tax assets. This measure also eliminates the asymmetrical impact resulting from changes in fair value of AIG’s available for sale securities portfolio wherein there is largely no offsetting impact for certain related insurance liabilities. AIG excludes deferred tax assets representing U.S. tax attributes related to net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits as they have not yet been utilized. Amounts for interim periods are estimates based on projections of full-year attribute utilization. As net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits are utilized, the portion of the DTA utilized is included in Adjusted Return on Equity. Adjusted Return on Equity is derived by dividing actual or annualized adjusted after-tax income attributable to AIG by average Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity.

	FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Core and Life and Retirement Adjusted Attributed Equity is an attribution of total AIG Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity to these segments based on AIG’s internal capital model, which incorporates the segments’ respective risk profiles. Adjusted attributed equity represents AIG’s best estimates based on current facts and circumstances and will change over time.

Core and Life and Retirement Return on Equity – Adjusted After-tax Income (Adjusted Return on Attributed Equity) is used to show the rate of return on Adjusted Attributed Equity. Adjusted Return on Attributed Equity is derived by dividing actual or annualized Adjusted After-tax Income by Average Adjusted Attributed Equity.

Adjusted After-tax Income Attributable to Core and Life and Retirement is derived by subtracting attributed interest expense and income tax expense from adjusted pre-tax income. Attributed debt and the related interest expense is calculated based on AIG’s internal capital model. Tax expense or benefit is calculated based on an internal attribution methodology that considers among other things the taxing jurisdiction in which the segments conduct business, as well as the deductibility of expenses in those jurisdictions.

Adjusted Revenues exclude Net realized capital gains (losses), income from non-operating litigation settlements (included in Other income for GAAP purposes) and changes in fair value of securities used to hedge guaranteed living benefits (included in Net investment income for GAAP purposes). Adjusted revenues is a GAAP measure for AIG’s operating segments.

AIG uses the following operating performance measures because AIG believes they enhance the understanding of the underlying profitability of continuing operations and trends of AIG’s business segments. AIG believes they also allow for more meaningful comparisons with AIG’s insurance competitors. When AIG uses these measures, reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measure are provided on a consolidated basis.

	FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Adjusted Pre-tax Income (APTI) is derived by excluding the items set forth below from income from continuing operations before income tax. This definition is consistent across AIG’s segments. These items generally fall into one or more of the following broad categories: legacy matters having no relevance to AIG’s current businesses or operating performance; adjustments to enhance transparency to the underlying economics of transactions; and measures that AIG believes to be common to the industry. APTI is a GAAP measure for AIG’s segments. Excluded items include the following:

• changes in fair value of securities used to hedge guaranteed living benefits;

• changes in benefit reserves and deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC), value of business acquired (VOBA), and sales inducement assets (SIA) related to net realized capital gains and losses;

• loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt;

• all net realized capital gains and losses except earned income (periodic settlements and changes in settlement accruals) on derivative instruments used for non-qualifying (economic) hedging or for asset replication. Earned income on such economic hedges is reclassified from net realized capital gains and losses to specific APTI line items based on the economic risk being hedged (e.g. net investment income and interest credited to policyholder account balances);

• income or loss from discontinued operations;

• pension expense related to a one-time lump sum payment to former employees;

• income and loss from divested businesses;

• non-operating litigation reserves and settlements;

• restructuring and other costs related to initiatives designed to reduce operating expenses, improve efficiency and simplify AIG’s organization;

• the portion of favorable or unfavorable prior year reserve development for which AIG has ceded the risk under retroactive reinsurance agreements and related changes in amortization of the deferred gain;

• net loss reserve discount benefit (charge); and

• integration and transaction costs associated with acquired businesses.

Adjusted After-tax Income attributable to AIG (AATI) is derived by excluding the tax effected APTI adjustments described above and the following tax items from net income attributable to AIG:

	·	deferred income tax valuation allowance releases and charges;
	·	changes in uncertain tax positions and other tax items related to legacy matters having no relevance to AIG’s current businesses or operating performance; and
	·	net tax charge related to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Act).

See page 16 for the reconciliation of Net income attributable to AIG to Adjusted After-tax Income Attributable to AIG.

	FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ratios: AIG, along with most property and casualty insurance companies, uses the loss ratio, the expense ratio and the combined ratio as measures of underwriting performance. These ratios are relative measurements that describe, for every $100 of net premiums earned, the amount of losses and loss adjustment expenses (which for General Insurance excludes net loss reserve discount), and the amount of other underwriting expenses that would be incurred. A combined ratio of less than 100 indicates underwriting income and a combined ratio of over 100 indicates an underwriting loss. AIG’s ratios are calculated using the relevant segment information calculated under GAAP, and thus may not be comparable to similar ratios calculated for regulatory reporting purposes. The underwriting environment varies across countries and products, as does the degree of litigation activity, all of which affect such ratios. In addition, investment returns, local taxes, cost of capital, regulation, product type and competition can have an effect on pricing and consequently on profitability as reflected in underwriting income and associated ratios.

Accident year loss and combined ratios, as adjusted: both the accident year loss and combined ratios, as adjusted, exclude catastrophe losses and related reinstatement premiums, prior year development, net of premium adjustments, and the impact of reserve discounting. Natural and man-made catastrophe losses are generally weather or seismic events having a net impact on AIG in excess of $10 million each and also include certain man-made events, such as terrorism and civil disorders that exceed the $10 million threshold. AIG believes the as adjusted ratios are meaningful measures of AIG’s underwriting results on an ongoing basis as they exclude catastrophes and the impact of reserve discounting which are outside of management’s control. AIG also excludes prior year development to provide transparency related to current accident year results.

Underwriting ratios are computed as follows:

Loss ratio = Loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred ÷ Net premiums earned (NPE)

Acquisition ratio = Total acquisition expenses ÷ NPE

General operating expense ratio = General operating expenses ÷ NPE

Expense ratio = Acquisition ratio + General operating expense ratio

Combined ratio = Loss ratio + Expense ratio

Accident year loss ratio, as adjusted (AYLR) = [Loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred – CATs – PYD] ÷ [NPE +/(-) Reinstatement premiums related to catastrophes (CYRIPs) +/(-) RIPs related to prior year catastrophes (PYRIPs) + (Additional) returned premium related to PYD on loss sensitive business ((AP)RP) + Adjustment for ceded premiums under reinsurance contracts related to prior accident years]

Accident year combined ratio, as adjusted = AYLR + Expense ratio

Catastrophe losses (CATs) and reinstatement premiums = [Loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred – (CATs)] ÷ [NPE +/(-) CYRIPs] – Loss ratio

Prior year development net of (additional) return premium related to PYD on loss sensitive business = [Loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred – CATs – PYD] ÷ [NPE +/(-) CYRIPs +/(-) PYRIPs + (AP)RP] – Loss ratio – CAT ratio

Premiums and deposits: includes direct and assumed amounts received and earned on traditional life insurance policies, group benefit policies and life-contingent payout annuities, as well as deposits received on universal life, investment-type annuity contracts, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) funding agreements and mutual funds.

	FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Results from discontinued operations are excluded from all of these measures.

Financial highlights - notes

(a) For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, because we reported net losses and adjusted after-tax losses, all common stock equivalents are anti-dilutive and are therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted shares and diluted per share amounts. The shares excluded from these calculations were 13,538,168 and 22,459,868 shares, respectively.

(b) Diluted shares in the diluted EPS calculation represent basic shares for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 due to the net losses in those periods.

(c) Computed as Annualized net income (loss) attributable to AIG divided by average AIG shareholders' equity. Equity includes AOCI and DTA.

(d) Computed as Annualized Adjusted after-tax income attributable to AIG divided by Adjusted Shareholders' Equity.

(e) Represents deferred tax assets only related to U.S. net operating loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards on a U.S. GAAP basis and excludes other balance sheet deferred tax assets and liabilities.

(f) Represents total AIG shareholders' equity divided by Total common shares outstanding.

(g) Represents total AIG shareholders' equity, excluding AOCI, divided by Total common shares outstanding.

(h) Represents Adjusted Shareholders' Equity, divided by Total common shares outstanding.
